    Virtual Reality

    Thinking about it, it could be pretty awesome. I don't think you'd be the fighter, you'd be one of the bystanders. So you could be controlling it and watching it play out in front of you, or maybe you're just spectating, being able to walk around and view the fight like a real brawl!

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's interesting if you take time dilation into account when exploring the galaxy at near the speed of light. Although it's 2.5 million light years away, it might only be 2 years travel to "you". So you may actually be able to explore much of the galaxy in a lifetime. But when you arrive in...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Maybe I'm reading too much into it, or not enough, but I think all Furry is trying to convey is that there is a difference between how we describe something, and how that something actually is in reality. Negative numbers are useful to describe things, but they don't obviously exist in reality...

    Stomping Lands - Dinosaur survival mmo

    While I don't think Steam should be accountable for cases like this, perhaps they could have a better vetting process where a game has to be close to completion before being allowed to be an early access title. Something where they have to put up a feature list of the expected final product...

    I don't think this is in 3D, but still pretty cool. The future in all this looks pretty awesome. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-hd-360-camera http://www.360.tv/gallery- Even does video.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I was thinking last night, that this whole sub-voxel thing has drifted landmark away from their original goal, and it may have ruined their vision of what Landmark was supposed to become, and possibly the game altogether. I imagine once they figured they could release their dev tool to the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's not only about increased life, but the size of the battery compared to the battery life. If they can squeeze 3 times the charge out of it, then they could have the same battery life as today with a battery 1/3 the size. This would allow for smaller/thinner/lighter devices. You might only...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Does anyone know if there is a set time/number of phases they are shooting for? It was mentioned above that the technology is at a point where we can have live action comics (which I agree), but a big difference between movies and the comics... is that the actors continue to age. Is RDJ...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    In many ways the game right now is the opposite of building in Minecraft/Terrarria. In those games you had basically unlimited space to build, but what you could build was not very detailed. In Landmark, you have a small area to build in, but you can get very detailed. And with that, I...

    I looked around and couldn't find anything quickly, but does anyone know if you buy the dev kit if you get a discount towards the final release? I'd love to order this, but don't want to re-buy it in a year.

    Virtual Reality

    Yea the biggest issue for me would be controlling more than just your hands in a game. I think it would only have a small range of applications where it would be useful, such as driving/flying simulators, or anywhere where your hands do the movement... but as you mentioned, you can already...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    One thing I discovered recently is if the game on sale can be bought as a package, then usually the package is also on sale, and each individual game in the pack can be bought for the sale price. For example, currently Max Payne 3 is on flash sale. But if you click on it, you see the package...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Serious question as I deal with it every so often. Where does the normal 15%-20% tipping fit into restaurants that are going into tablet ordering systems? For instance there is aStackednearby that I frequent, where you order and pay through the tablet. Servers exist just to ask if you know...

    And more! We continue to march forward toward Open Beta after the show! Caves (phase 2): The cave systems plunge deeper into the earth (much deeper) and the resource tiers get spread out further also. Recipes & Achievements: Remember those quick fixes we did back in early May? These are...

    I don't see what's so difficult about that. We already know voxels come in 2 varieties, player made, and auto-generated. So just have separate LOD on voxels that are player created, and another for the auto-generated stuff. Put the sliders in the options so you can fuck or unfuck your...

    I might be the only one, but I'm not really excited about caves. Unless they have a plan to make them more interesting visually, I don't see it being very fun outside of short bursts. With everything above ground, just running around collecting things gives you a good view of the landscape...

    Not mine unfortunantly. Lifted it from the beta boards. Just posted for those that can't read that thread, and it's the first EQ zone remake I've come across. Which honestly is a bit surprising. The freeport is from: "Confidence - Vale (tier 3) - Trevius' Claim - Fairly big claim to the...

    It might be kinda fun if the tree's were actually made of voxels, and you had to actually chop through the tree to knock it down. Once you get all the way through, you get your heartwood or whatever. As for what to build, just build your castle. That will get you over the 'builders block'...

    I think originally you could do this by 'walking' your claims towards the border, where you would place your main, attach one, attach the 2nd to that, then delete the first attached claim. Replace it on the other side of the 2nd claim, then delete the 2nd claim and so on until you hit the...

    I'm going to try to make a mini dungeon, but the problem I see immediately, and why you probably don't see too many is that the claims have height, but not width. So you can make tower dungeons I guess, but making a sprawling dungeon just isn't possible because you're so limited on land...

    The difference for me, and why I see no problem with charging for color lights, is that they are a premium item. You have normal free props, and paid premium props. You can have normal free textures, and paid premium textures. You have normal free lights, and you have paid premium lights. I...

    If you're used to paying ~$15 a month for a non F2P MMO, then just keep the same mindset and give yourself a $15 a month budget to spend on props/lighting. I would guess most people wont spend that much on props though, so the game is still cheaper than paid sub MMO's.

    Meh, wish the 2nd primary claim could be put near your first primary claim. Thinking of using it as a dirt storage facility, or just open it up and let people play around on it. I'm happy we have 4 attached claims though, can finally finish off the 4 corners for a large square claim.

    In case they fix this tomorrow, if it wasn't already known, accessories don't lose their effect as long as you don't manually remove them or change weapons! So equip a axe/pick, go through and equip 2 of each accessory, and become a super fast farming machine!

    shift+click when you place it to go into tweak mode, if that's what you were referring too. Also the grappling hook is a must have for building tall structures.

    I get the feeling they are not getting as many people on board as they had hoped. The 4pack of trailblazer keys used to be a week only to start, then it was full beta access. Now their sending out week long invites. And then looking at the server/world pops, they are all low, even during...

    5 days seems a bit short for upkeep pre-payment. I hope it extends to 2 weeks or so in release since going on an extended vacation means you'll lose your claim.

    Are twitch streams inherently saved at all? When I was watching earlier he went on a great discussion of their tool design and it would be great to link it here. If not, extreme tldr; They want to have as few tools possible and are NOT trying to recreate a Maya/Photoshop environment in any...
